WWE Raw vs SmackDown Live: Which was the better show this week? (22 and 23 April 2019)

#2 The mid-card

RAW: The mid-card champion of RAW, Samoa Joe made his first appearance on the red brand this week after being moved from SmackDown. He was a part of one of the two triple threat matches that took place on the show but unfortunately he could not win that match.

Besides, Sami Zayn cut a brilliant heel promo which drew nuclear heat towards him. Cedric Alexander and Cesaro too had a decent match. We even saw the glorious debut of Robert Roode and Bray Wyatt finally made his return to the red brand. RAW's mid-card looks really fresh and promising now.

SmackDown Live: Finn Balor and Andrade had yet another solid encounter but this time Zelina Vega could not help El Idolo take the victory. As mentioned ahead, a match between Reigns and Elias was made official.

Lars Sullivan crushed Chad Gable, the Singh Brothers and Jinder Mahal in a disgusting manner.

Which was better? - RAW's mid-card has been revamped completely. The characters of Sami Zayn, Robert Roode and Bray Wyatt have the calibre to deliver the entertainment that fans need. Meanwhile, the fans are not that exciting for the match between Reigns and Elias and Lars Sullivan's future on SmackDown Live. So, RAW levels the score here.

Winner: RAW
